Not quite sure what this is... ann HMV 194, stripped of it's magnificent horn? What I find curious is it's motor. Not seen anything like it. Almost looks like a mechanical governor for an electric motor, but I didn't think that HMV offered electric motors in the 193/4 series.
What say you?

It's a Garrard motor. Garrard used centrifugal governors in several of their electrically driven motors. Could it be a retrofit? Mores the pity...

A teak 194 no less. Hen's teeth rare. Such a shame.

I did think it looked familar but when I saw you had replied to the thread I knew it would be to remind us of our failing memories!
